About this study

Official title: Long Limb Roux-en Y Reconstruction After Gastrectomy As A Potential Cure for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Non-Obese Gastric Cancer Patients - a Pilot Project to Validate a Prospective Randomized Control Trial

We grafted the concept of metabolic surgery (long limb Roux-en Y reconstruction) into gastric cancer surgery. This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of long limb Roux-en Y reconstruction after gastrectomy in non-obese type II diabetes with gastric cancer.

Read the detailed description

Type II diabetes in the world is increasing rapidly, and it is known that patients with type II diabetes with morbid obesity that underwent bariatric surgery have resolution of impaired glucose metabolism.

In Asia, most type II diabetes are not morbidly obese and still, it is controversy whether metabolic surgery is effective or not in non-morbid obese patients. As life expectancy is increased, the number of patients with gastric cancer and T2DM is increased as well.

Recently, we studied the outcome of T2DM after gastrectomy and conventional reconstruction in non-obese gastric cancer patients.(Kim JW et al, World J Gastroenterol 2012;18:49) The study was a large-series retrospective study including about 400 patients and the result regarding DM improvement was not satisfactory. Based on our previous results, it is needed to find more effective way to resolve the type II diabetes in gastrectomized patients with gastric cancer.

  • Long limb Roux-en Y reconstructionProcedure or surgery

    Also called modified Roux-en Y

    After radical gastrectomy, the gastrointestinal tract was reconstructed by Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy or esophagojejunostomy. The jejunum was divided at approximately 100-120 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz and the distal limb of the jejunum was then anastomosed along the proximal gastric greater curvature or esophagus. The jejuno-jejunostomy was performed approximately 100 to 120 cm distal from the gastrojejunal or esophagojejunal anastomosis

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Morbidity

    For the evaluation of safety, morbidity were analyzed. For the evaluation of short-term safety, complications higher than the Clavien-Dindo grade II (Dindo et. Ann Surg 240:205 2004) were collected.

    *Clavien-dindo classification of surgical complications Grade II: Requiring pharmacological treatment with drugs other than such allowed for grade I complications. Blood transfusions and total parenteral nutrition are also included.

    Grade III: Requiring surgical, endoscopic or radiological intervention Grade IV:Life-threatening complication (including CNS complications)‡ requiring IC/ICU-management Grade V:Death of a patient Suffix'd' : If the patient suffers from a complication at the time of discharge ,the suffix "d" (for 'disability') is added to the respective grade of complication. This label indicates the need for a follow-up to fully evaluate the complication.

    For the evaluation of long-term safety, the patients were evaluated every month after discharge.

    Measured: Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

  2. HbA1c

    For the evaluation of efficacy for the operation, HbA1c(%) was measured serially (preop. 6months after op. until end of study(on average 14.8 months)).

    HbA1c is formed in a non-enzymatic glycation pathway by hemoglobin's exposure to plasma glucose and measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) The HbA1c was calculated as a ratio to total hemoglobin.

    Measured: Before operation , 6 months after operation, Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

  3. Hemoglobin

    For the evaluation of long-term safety, hemoglobin was measured to determine the degree of anemia and malnutrition.

    Measured: Before operation , 6 months after operation, Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

  4. Albumin

    For the evaluation of long-term safety, albumin was measured to determine malnutrition.

    Measured: Before operation , 6 months after operation, Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

  5. Operation Related Mortality

    Operation related mortality was measured for the evaluation of safety for the operation. Operation related mortality was defined as any complication resulting in the death of the patient within 1 month or during hospitalization after operation.

    Measured: Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Matsuda Index

    Measured: Before operation , 6 months after operation, Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

  2. QUICKI

    The quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) was measured.

    The QUICKI was obtained using the following formula:

    1 / (log(fasting insulin µU/mL) + log(fasting glucose mg/dL))

    Measured: Before operation , 6 months after operation , Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

    Measured: Before operation , 6 months after operation, Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

  4. HOMA-B

    HOMA-B(Homoeostasis model assessment-derived beta-cell function) was measured.

    225 × 18/fasting insulin(mU/L) × fasting glucose(mg/dL)

    Measured: Before operation , 6 months after operation, Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Morbidity (time frame: Until end of study (on average 14.8 months)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01373346, which also lists 18 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
